Gigi had an extended cheer practice on Saturday, to get their routine down.
Sunday we all went as a family to stick and puck. I had a great time but my back is pretty sore now. Playing hockey for 1.5 hrs is hard when your not the greatest skater. It was fun to play hockey as a family though.
Monday kids woke up early and played with daddy all morning, playing games and snuggling and enjoying a nice leisurely breakfast. Jeff had a later fight today and we all really enjoyed the extra 3 hrs today, felt like an extra day.
We then had to take him to the airport and rush back to get nathan a pair of cowboy boots. We went to the pumpkin patch/corn maze on Friday. The corn maze was a mudpit. 10 minutes in the stick mud, lifted up Nathan's sole. 20 minutes in his whole sole came off. By 30 minutes he was pretty much in his socks walking through the mud! So new boots we needed.
In horse riding lessons nathan loped for the first time, he broke into song saying I believe I can fly... He said it felt like he was flying! His face was awesome to see!
Tuesday morning and we woke up to this on nathan
It does not hurt, but it hurts to open his eye as it's sensitive to light. He is extremely tired despite having 12 hrs of sleep last night. He is laying on the couch not able to do much. We are going to try and go to piano but I think that is all we will accomplish today. TIA, Occular migraine, Vascular migraine??? Who knows.
This blog entry made me laugh out loud - my kids can attest to the fact that I often blast out a chorus of that song when I feel I've accomplished something. I'm so impressed to hear how well Nathan is doing in his horseback riding. It must be a very freeing feeling to be moving so quickly.
ReplyDeletePoor eyeball. It doesn't look like pink eye or anything infected. If you go to Iris, they will check it at no cost for kids. One time Elara had something red embedded in her cornea. Plus you can cover a lot of PLOs about human vision while you observe the process... That being said, sometimes you are just tired of all the appointments and if it doesn't hurt, maybe it will clear on its own.
Yes Nathan gets to see the Ophthalmologist at children's every 6 months and gets an annual check up at pacific eye drs. And childrens appointment is always a six hour wait :) So we have enough eye appointments 3 in one year :). I am lucky in that I have Dr Pleydell pearce's number on speed dial, as well as contact with him through email. I just sent him the picture of his eye in the morning and to let him know what was happening throughout the day. Unfortunately none of the optometrists really want to touch nathans case, I have asked both at iris and pacific if I can bring him in when he has his monocular blindness or anything just so they can take a look for me, but they would rather I go to the hospital or childrens.
